I’m giving you the 70 years of experience. If I remember correctly you fished commercially at one point along the way those years should count double.😂👍🏻

My dad started taking me fishing with him 62 years ago when I was five. I helped my 4 year old granddaughter catch her first fish this week on Monday. Three of her four siblings also fished for the first time and also caught their first fish that day! What a great memory for all of us!!
